DOMAIN BOARD 'HU ES TO BE REMOVED? “The gully which run- along th? outh boundary of the domain he... .radually cleared of trees up to the ooundai.’. of the golf course in th: lowci paddock, and this portion I: l; been replanted. We would recoin-

I I mend that the clearing work be continued along the old sanctuary. Tho (cutting of willows would yield from 50 to 60 cords of wood. This area could then be planted with suitable thrce-year-old trees.” This porti of the visiting committees report was elaborated by Mr I W. 11. McMillan at a meeting of the . Domain Board on Wednesday evenin'*. ! He .suggested that a committee comprising Messrs A. W. Buzan, P. II I Lynch and himself with power to act I should be deputed to deal with the I matter. | Mr C. D. Hayhurst said that he was : not in favour of such a proposal as he I thought that it was a question which' should be decided by all members ol I the Board. In his opinion too many] trees were bein'.', cut down and they i would have to exercise care before giv- i in,", authority to remove any more. Statjiig that he was in favour of Mr Ha.'.hurst/.; suggestion. Mr Lynch sai(i j that, members would gain a better idei | o! what was contemplated if they | visited th" locality. 'I he idea was to clear out old trees • which were deteriorating in commercial value and rep]?'’'g them with ’ more .• uitable trees, said Mr McMillan. I It wh.it he had suggested was done | I it would enable them to plant thousI -nd.; of trees along that particular j i gully. This work could be done as , part ol the Centennial celebrations. I I It was agreed that all members would : i visit the Domain to discuss the matter I The report further stated that, the) | ivy al the Memorial Gates should be. |

removed as it was only a harbour for rubbish. The curator requested that the monkey puzzle tree on the rlylil hand side ol the Memorial Gates be cut down as it was practically dead. The report recommended that the two lone trees in front of the curator's residence be removed, as they littered th? lawn with small cones. These trees had outlived their usefulness and were poor specimens. The weeping willows at the lily pond were getting too big and during windy weather branches wore blown off. It was recommended that they be topped to a height of 18 feet. When considering Arbor Day. the matter of adding to the new native section should not be lost sight of.
